In a previous work we developed a family of orbital-free tensor equations for DFT [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 024105 (2006)]. The theory is a combination of the coupled hydrodynamic moment equations hierarchy with a cumulant truncation of the…

We carry out an Effective Field Theory (EFT) study of the $pp \to \bar{t} t Zh$ process in the $4b + 3 \ell + \ge 2j + \slashed{E}_T$ final state. This process can uniquely probe the $\bar{t} t Zh$ couplings arising from higher dimensional…
